Canon 23
The Night. It can be known as a lot of things. To normal people, the night is usually the sign that the day is over and for them to either return to their homes to their loved ones and spend time with them or to hang out with friends and party the rest of the day off. To criminals, vigilantes and those who work in the military, They simply see the night as good cover against those that might be pursuing them or the perfect setting for an ambush due to the often times lack of light in most places.
To Makoto Nanaya the night was neither of those things. To her, The night at this point was just an extension of the day time only with god deciding to turn the lights off. Even if she wanted to sleep now, she couldn't due to her job at Intelligence dictating that she remain awake at all times of the day until she could finally rest in bed. However for her in this day, as much as she wanted to rest now, with her arm screaming in pain, she could not for a simple reason.
'Don't worry Noelie. I am almost there.' Makoto thought as she checked her clock. 6 PM, The sun had fully dawned and now the night had arrived. This simply meant that Noel should be waiting for her at this moment back at the park they met just the last night. If Makoto can get back to Noel and make sure she's alright, she can finally talk to Kokonoe, ask her to take Noel somewhere safe and then fully focus her search for Sora.
'As long as I know Noellie will be safe in the professor's hands, I can fully dedicate everything to my search for Sora. I just hope she isn't as horrible as my former boss.' Makoto thought as she slipped into an alley covered in the shadows, trying to stay out of the line of sight of the general public as now that she knew her bounty was out, any normal citizen of the law would be reporting her location... even if they look like they do not care in the first place.
And Makoto knew the reason why stealth was important. 'I'm not like Ragna the Bloodedge. I don't have so high of a bounty that I can intimidate people into not reporting about me! I would be a lunatic for thinking I can get away with what that guy probably can.' Makoto thought as she noticed a group of people gathering around her location at that moment, cutting off one of her routes as she was forced to take another path to hopefully not get spotted by the general public.
As much as she would have liked to walk among with the crowd, trying to play it cool and not draw attention to herself, her beastkin features simply made her stand out too much as she continued roaming through the alleys, staying away from the city streets and the bright neon lights they cast as Makoto continued to check her phone for the time. Each time she did, the time continued to push forwards by a few minutes until she realized that she was wasting time trying to play it safe and stay in the shadows.
'I've got no choice huh... going out to the streets is the safer bet right now and will waste me less time.' Makoto thought as she looked at the streets themselves, their bright lights shining through the dim alleys as she took a couple of deep breathes. 'Just get in... don't draw attention to yourself... get out and meet Noellie. You're almost there...' Makoto thought as using the goal of her meeting back up with Noellie on time, Makoto bravely walked into the streets, allowing the crowd to push her into their flow and take her to where they wanted to go.
As she did, she couldn't help but listen to the conversations of the normal people around her, people whose lives were not as insane as hers had become at this point. "Come on now. Just come with us for a drink. Just for tonight." A man with a suit said, pulling his tie down as he wrapped his arm around another man with a suit, most likely his colleague. "You know I cannot sir. I have a wife and kid waiting for me right now." The man replied as Makoto decided to shift her focus to another conversation.
"And so I said to him, Yeah sure I don't mind. But you know what he does instead? Hangs up on me! I swear the nerve of that man!" A woman complained on her phone, most likely to her friends with the way she was speaking. It was highly unlikely that she was speaking to a family member with the informal language and tone she was using. As much as she didn't want to be over analytical, it's because of her former position in the NOL intelligence department as her innate curiosity that made her pay attention to conversations more often.
"Just forget about the conversations and focus on getting to where you need to be Makoto." Makoto mumbled to herself, reminding herself that she has no time to walk around in such a leisurely manner. Despite her eagerness to get out of her, the crowd simply would not relent as more and more people began to walk the same street she was at. Makoto was going to lose hope at maintaining her stealth until her eyes managed to catch the sight of what appeared to be a sign.
'The port district... That's it!' Makoto thought as she was simply relieved that she was finally at what seemed to be a light at the end of the tunnel as she turned her way towards the port district. The reason why she was so happy to see the port district was because the port district was where she had met Noel. So knowing that she was near where they were supposed to meet was enough to make Makoto feel that her risk was worth it.
'Better not waste time and meet up with Noel quick.' Makoto thought as she looked up to the sky and briefly saw a streak of light cross her vision as she was quick to deduce that tonight was going to be a rainy night. "Especially if it's going to start raining on me... well at least I will get a shower of sorts..I guess." Makoto said as while she was mildly annoyed her clothes would get wet in the process, at least she was in the clear from the general public to go at her full speed to hopefully meet Noel and not anybody else.
'Please don't do anything rash… Noel...Tsubaki.' Makoto thought as her mind was racing through various thoughts, having now decided to start using the various pipes that laid through the port district to make her way faster to the spot she met Noel, each pipe her feet making a loud clang as she soon saw a pair of stairs that she could take that were not under heavy NOL watch as she soon swapped to that to minimize her trail.
As she walked up the stairs of the port district, all Makoto could hope at this point was for Noel to not be in any kind of trouble. Noel Vermillion has always had a way of causing trouble whether it may be as something as minor as her death dinner or something as drastic as the time Her, Tsubaki and Noel fell down that pit all those years in the academy, forcing Makoto to save her by cushioning the fall with her tail. As Makoto walked up the final steps, her eyes bore witness to a sight that she thought she would ever see… let alone want to see.
There she was...Makoto Nanaya, Watching her two friends, Noel Vermillion and Tsubaki Yayoi, engaged in armed combat for some reason as Noel panic fired a couple of shots from her guns Bolverk, shots that were meant to warn Tsubaki not to approach her. However Tsubaki did not care about that and instead used the Izayoi, the weapon granted to her by her family generations ago to block Noel's Bolverk blasts and unleash her own series of attacks, detaching the sword to form a whip of sorts.
With said whip, Tsubaki used it to nullify Noel's range advantage, cracking it through the air and managing to wrap it around one of the Bolverks, snatching it out of Noel's hand and causing it to slide on the ground. Noel herself shook her head as she focused and summoned the stolen Bolverk back to her hands. As she did so, Tsubaki used this as her chance to get closer, surprising Noel enough to force the young girl to block the attack thrown in front of her, causing the two to separate as a result.
'W-What the hell happened!?' Makoto thought as at first, Makoto stared at the fight that was happening right in front of her, unable to understand why this was happening and how on Earth did Tsubaki and Noel even meet in the first place. 'Didn't I warn Noel not to meet Tsubaki!?… Or did Tsubaki somehow manage to find her...'Makoto thought as several thoughts were racing through her mind as she was trying to register what was going on in front of her.
"TSUBAKI! STOP THIS PLEASE! I DON'T WANT TO HURT YOU!" Noel screamed as Tsubaki ignored what her friend said and immediately charged right for Noel with her shield in front of her. Noel, not wanting to harm her friend, shot the ground in front of her, creating a pot hole to try and force Tsubaki to trip instead. Tsubaki was not going to fall for it however as she jumped over the pothole Noel made and immediately swung with her sword, causing the two to clash once again as Makoto could clearly see the anger in Tsubaki's eyes, her eyes burning with hatred for some reason.
"Hurt me? Is that what you call what you have been doing?! ARE YOU TRYING TO PITY ME!?" Tsubaki yelled as Noel felt a breeze come from below, blowing away her military cap and exposing her long blonde hair to both Tsubaki and Makoto as Tsubaki had nearly sliced her own friend in half. "IS THAT WHAT YOU CALL YOUR KINDNESS TO ME!? JUST BECAUSE I AM WEAKER THAN YOU!?" Tsubaki screamed, confusion present in her voice as Makoto herself couldn't believe Tsubaki, the calm and collected friend she knew, was displaying such irrational anger.
"THAT'S NOT WHAT I AM TRYING TO DO TSUBAKI!" Noel screamed as she exposed her back to Tsubaki and immediately pushed her whole weight right onto Tsubaki, forcing the red haired girl to slide as Noel panted quite a bit. "I AM SAYING THAT AS YOUR FRIEND. I DON'T WANT TO HURT YOU! That's why… THAT'S WHY I REFUSE TO HURT YOU! BECAUSE WE ARE FRIENDS TSUBAKI!" Noel yelled as Tsubaki went quiet after that, Noel looking at her with some hope in her eyes as she thought her words had finally reached Tsubaki at this point.
"Then please Noel… as my friend. DON'T MAKE THIS MORE PAINFUL THAN IT HAS TO BE!" Tsubaki screamed, Makoto able to see tears forming out of the corner of Tsubaki's eyes as Tsubaki swung the Izayoi, baiting Noel to blocking only to quickly gather Seithr right into the blade of the Izayoi, causing a distortion drive to occur as Makoto's eyes widened at that. 'No...Tsubaki..stop.' Makoto thought as her entire body stood up at that, realizing that Tsubaki was determined to kill Noel no matter what.
"YOU CANNOT DO THAT! TSUBAKI!" Makoto yelled as she got out from the spot that she had hid from, running right between Noel and Tsubaki to intercept Tsubaki's attack. Tsubaki, blinded by both rage and sadness, did not notice her friend standing in the way of her attack and proceeded anyways as Noel herself get pushed to the side as Tsubaki lunged forward with great speed, forcing Makoto to block with her bare arms as she had no time to form a barrier from nowhere.
As a result, Makoto could feel the blade of the Izayoi dig itself into her injured arm more, making her scream in agony as both Tsubaki and Noel realized what had just happened as soon as the bloodcurdling scream was let out. Tsubaki barely managed to stop her attack, stopping herself from slicing her best friend's arm off in the process as Noel's panicked face told the whole story of what was going on at that moment.
"M-MAKOTO!" Noel screamed as Tsubaki realized what she had done, dropping the Izayoi from her hand as she gasped with the shock of what she had done striking her. Noel ran towards Makoto in a panicked state, immediately casting a healing ars magus onto Makoto's wound, healing it slowly as Makoto gritted her teeth, the pain coursing through her veins as she looked right at Tsubaki in her eyes, both pain and confusion swimming around her eyes as Makoto simply raised her voice towards her red haired friend.
Makoto: W-WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU TSUBAKI!
Tsubaki: M-Makoto… I'm sorry I…
Makoto: I forgive you for hurting me… But I want to know why are you trying to attack Noellie all of the sudden!?
Tsubaki: Makoto… You don't understand… she's the reason...the reason that…
Makoto: The reason for what!? She's our friend dammit! We shouldn't be fighting each other like this! Maybe have a spat or two but not until we raise our weapons to each other!
Tsubaki: YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND TSUBAKI! SHE'S THE REASON WHY JIN NII-SAMA'S GONE ROGUE!
As soon as Tsubaki shouted out her reason, Makoto and Noel couldn't help but stare at her as Tsubaki dropped to her knees. This prompted both Makoto and Noel to quickly rush towards Tsubaki as friends would but Tsubaki immediately created distance between both her and the two once again. "How...How can you not be on my side when she's been responsible for everything that has happened… unless… the reason for why you are a wanted criminal now is because of..." Tsubaki said, her head trying to comprehend what was going on as Noel wanted to go towards Tsubaki but Makoto stopped her.
"M-Makoto! I need to go and speak to Tsubaki. I just..." Noel said as Makoto quietly shook her head before leaning towards Noel's ear. "I know you want to Noellie… but just let me try and reason with her first. If you go there and she attacks you again then there's no point." Makoto said as Noel wanted to fight against that logic but looking right at Makoto's eyes, she knew that she was speaking the truth as she first looked to the ground before quietly nodding, trying to hide a tear that was about to come from her face.
"What I did as a crime has nothing to do with Noellie Tsubaki. What I did is what I did… so why do you believe that Noel is the one responsible for what happened with Jin in the first place?" Makoto said, knowing herself that Jin had ran away from NOL headquarters to pursue Ragna the Bloodedge but decided to not overplay that part too much, knowing how Tsubaki feels about the man as Tsubaki took a couple of calm deep breaths, Makoto making sure Noel was not in Tsubaki's field of view so she knew that Makoto was giving her full attention towards her.
"It's because… she was Jin Nii-Sama's secretary that….that Jin Nii-Sama went rogue." Tsubaki said as Makoto couldn't believe what she was hearing. Did it really matter who Jin's secretary was in the first place? If he knew about Ragna the Bloodedge and had the chance to chase after him, Jin would have done so in the first place. "Who told you that in the first place Tsubaki?" Makoto asked as she had to just know who spoke the nonsense that caused her friend to go to a near berserk like state in the first place.
"The person who told me that was… was..." Tsubaki said but hesitated as she wondered if she should even say it as Makoto simply remained quiet, allowing Tsubaki to take her time to say what she wanted to say. "Now Now Miss Yayoi. I am pretty sure telling sensitive information to wanted criminals goes against the very nature of the NOL don't you think?" a voice spoke as Makoto froze hearing said voice, unable to believe that she was hearing the one voice she had hoped she had gotten away from as she slowly turned her head towards said direction.
"You've got to be kidding me..." Makoto muttered as the girls turned their heads towards the direction of the voice, each girl had a different reaction towards the person said voice came from. For Tsubaki, it was a slight shock but enough for her to get onto her feet in attention. For Noel, it was a sense of dread, of fear of the unknown as she took several steps away from said figure right into Makoto's arms. And for Makoto, she simply had a disgusted look on her face as she spoke first.
"And what gives you the right to say that to my friend...Captain.." Makoto said as Hazama made his appearance once more, his green hair and black outfit once again greeting Makoto's eyes once more as Hazama lifted his fedora off his head and placed it on his chest. "I have the right to say so because you never answered my calls Miss Nanaya. Now what kind of friend just leaves her boss hanging like that? I am so hurt by that." Hazama said as Makoto knew the reason why he was even trying to be nice with her instead of lashing out.
"Come on you two… Let's just leave this place and discuss things in a more private manner." Makoto said, standing both Noel and Tsubaki up only to make Hazama sigh in a disapproving manner. "My My Miss Yayoi, to think that you would not just do your job as you are told. What a shame indeed." Hazama said as Tsubaki's eyes quickly widened as she separated herself from Noel and Makoto almost immediately hearing Hazama say that.
"I...I was not trying to disobey orders Captain! I was trying to resolve things in a peaceful manner...but they escalated on me.." Tsubaki said but Hazama shook his head. "Then why are you listening to the words of a criminal in the first place? Are you telling me that you are allowing your friendship with said criminal and traitor cloud your judgement?" Hazama continued as Makoto realized what Hazama was trying to do.
"And what gives you the right to butt in our business captain? Can't a member of the NOL choose how they wish to resolve a problem or is force the only way allowed?" Makoto questioned back, walking right towards Hazama with her left fist clenched as her right fist was still quite numb from the healing Ars Magus Noel used. Makoto did not want to fight, especially knowing her injured state but seeing Hazama's face...his shit eating grin. It was enough to send anger down her spine.
"Oh no former Lieutenant. I am merely reminding good old Miss Yayoi about her duties in the Zeroth squadron. If her superior officer were to see her right now.. I would suspect that she would be heavily displeased with what she was witnessing." Hazama said as Makoto stopped approaching Hazama, the memory of her earlier encounter with Meifang resurfacing and reminding her of what an unpleasant time that was.
"But other than that. It appears that I might have stepped a bit too much out of line. There are others watching after all and I so rudely interrupted the little show that they were getting." Hazama said as Makoto immediately became confused by that, her eyes looking all around as Noel and Tsubaki themselves began to look around the arena, both looking at different directions, Noel wondering where the people observing could be and Tsubaki to try and avoid looking at her friend's face.
"Will you stop with your drivel and just leave us already Hazama." A voice chimed as just hearing it was enough to send a chill down Makoto's spine as she began to feverishly look around, amusing Hazama as he couldn't help but grin and walk away, vanishing to the girls in the process as like a ghost, he was no longer there. "W-Who was that?!" Noel questioned with some fear in her voice, her thoughts wondering what could that be as soon both her and Tsubaki saw Makoto's feet shaking in fear.
"Still… despite the snake's meddling, I was able to observe so much." The voice continued as Makoto turned her head towards Noel and Tsubaki and saw a sight she did not want to see. Noel could see the growing horror on Makoto's face as she turned to see a blonde haired man wearing magenta clothing and an opera mask. Before she was able to react, his white gloved hand grabbed her by her neck and slowly lifted her into the air until she was at his head level.
"NOEL!" Makoto screamed as she ran towards the masked man she all too well as Relius Clover as immediately, Ignis got in her way. Makoto wanted to fight back, wanted to say something but just looking at Ignis… the moving automaton that he most likely had created, brought back more recent memories that simply left her paralyzed as she saw Tsubaki just standing where she was, watching Relius slowly strangle their friend with his grip with his gaze staring right at her.
"It's simply amazing how you express yourself as a human being with emotions despite being a defective unit Number 12..." Relius said as Makoto's eyes widened at that. This all but confirmed in her mind that Relius definitely had something to do with Noel… but what was it could he have done. As quick as he had grabbed Noel, he was quick to release her. "But at the end of the day… even if you have the Azure, it doesn't change the fact that you are simply still a failure." Relius concluded, leaving Noel to cough as fear crawled up the young Vermillion girl's face as his gaze was soon focused right onto Makoto herself as she realized where he was looking at.
"To think that I would get to meet you once again… Miss Nanaya." Relius said as Makoto felt every instinct to run at this point but before she could even react, Ignis was already in front of her. The fear in Makoto's bones prevented her from reacting in time as Ignis gave her a solid gut punch with her clawed fist, causing the squirrel girl to crumple down to her knees as Noel and Tsubaki were alarmed by this.
"MAKOTO!" both screamed as Noel summoned out Bolverk and despite the fear she felt, steeled herself to fight against the masked man if needed to. Tsubaki however felt conflicted between saving her friend or doing her duty as she simply dropped to her knees, indecision paralyzing her to where she sat as with a single gesture, Ignis got in Noel's way, blocking her from easily running towards the masked man as he walked slowly to his subject of interest.
"It has been quite some time since we last meet Miss Nanaya… and I can see that your soul is as strong as ever." Relius commented as he didn't even try to raise a hand towards the girl, not that he needed to as when Makoto's eyes landed right onto his, she felt her body paralyze on itself like last time as she tried desperately to close her eyes as Relius grabbed her face, pressing his fingers on her cheeks in a cold and calculating manner. "I was right...you are the one who got away from me..." Relius commented as Makoto felt it all over again.
"N-NO...STOP IT...NOT AGAIN." Makoto muttered as her body refused to put up a fight as Relius calmly stared right at her, his eyes prying into her deepest secrets once again as this time, he didn't need to pry to observe her soul directly. "Your memories are the same as before...expect for the memories of this Sora Minakaze I managed to unearth… Amazing. Not even two trips between the boundary was enough to erode the quality of your soul." Relius commented as Makoto began to tear up once again, the pain and suffering she had to endure before being dragged up back to the surface in the most agonizing of manners.
"Emotional Stimuli? I guess that is to be expected. Your soul remembers the first time I did this and if I remember right, I did extract some rather painful memories for you." Relius commented as Makoto wanted to scream so badly… but couldn't. "But with all of this interference from the outside, I won't be able to observe you properly. Ignis, come over here and help me bring Miss Nanaya to the NOL holding cells." Relius said as this immediately sent Makoto into a terror as she desperately tried to will her body to move but her body stubbornly chose to remain a statue.
Soon, Ignis turned her back towards the blonde haired girl as Noel immediately tried to stop Relius only to be stopped by Tsubaki herself getting in her way. "What are you doing Tsubaki!?" Noel screamed as Tsubaki took a couple of deep breathes before raising the Izayoi up once more. "My job Noel. Makoto is being arrested for her crime against the NOL and Colonel Relius is conducting that arrest. I cannot let you get in his way." Tsubaki said but Noel couldn't help but scream.
"But the way he was talking to her… Don't you think that's weird Tsubaki! If he was trying to arrest her then why say all of that!" Noel said, her hands trembling trying to hold Bolverk as tightly as she could as Tsubaki simply closed her eyes. "Regardless of his language. I cannot let you interfere with this arrest… unless you want to add resisting against the NOL to your current crimes Noel." Tsubaki said, tightening her grip on the blade as Noel herself was left confused by the way Tsubaki was behaving in all of this.
As the two discussed this however, Makoto could already see Ignis approaching her, her clawed hands ready to grab her and whisk her away to whatever location Relius had planned for her. Relius clearly did not want her in the holding cells but in some laboratory where he could experiment on her like some lab rat. "Do not worry Miss Nanaya. I made the mistake of being too hasty and tried to conclude breaking your soul as such. But do not worry. Once I have you to myself, I will take all of the time I will need to ensure I have the proper data this time." Relius said as Ignis was soon in front of her, a seal formed on her right palm as it raised it towards Makoto's face.
"And when I do, you will make for such a magnificent Detonator." Relius concluded as Makoto could see the seal glow in front of her face as she didn't want this. She wanted to move but for whatever reason, whether it be the trauma of what she had to endure before or the memory of said trauma. Her body simply refused to move. All she wanted to do was simply scream at that moment, something...anything...but most importantly...someone as she mustered up the rest of her strength to scream out the one name that remained in her mind.
"SORA!"
Thunder soon greeted the sky as if to grant Makoto's wish as for an instant, Makoto could see a flash of white greet her eyes as Ignis's clawed hand was smacked high into the air before she and Relius themselves were pushed back a great distance away from her. Relius's gaze on her disappeared as she still felt weak, her body slowly dropping towards the ground only to be caught by a singular arm as the warmth of that arm was much better than the chill she felt from Relius's gaze.
Could It be? Was it really? Makoto at first felt a reluctance to look up and confirm who was holding her at that moment but knew she had to as she slowly raised her head, and opened her eyes. More tears soon emerged from her eyes as she saw the white hair with blond tips, the brilliant yellow left eye and blind white right eye and the face only she can recognize from her memories as she simply began to gag on her words, unable to believe that he was actually there.
"Stay here Makoto...I'll protect you." the white haired man said as he laid her on the ground and slowly walked towards Relius, a motorcycle blade right on his back as he grabbed it by it's handle and revved it a few times as Makoto slowly sat up to get a better look at the back of the man she knew...and loved as Sora was really in front of her. He wasn't some figment of her imagination nor was he dead… he was really here and in front of her right now.
Sora however was not focused on that. As much as he was relieved to finally have found Makoto. His gaze was focused more right on the masked man, Relius Clover himself. "Oh? And you must be Sora Minakaze himself." Relius commented as Noel and Tsubaki immediately locked their eyes right on the man, Noel looking at him confused but Tsubaki realizing that he was the same man who had stopped her from chasing after Jin Nii-san.
"Colonel Relius! Be careful! he's a dangerous criminal!" Tsubaki warned as Relius simply ignored her statement and continued to focus his gaze right at Sora, able to feel the anger and rage that was boiling within. "Do you remember a girl named Alice?" Sora said as Relius simply looked at him without showing any interest. "No. I do not have a memory of such an insignificant soul." Relius said as suddenly Sora's soul began to flare up in his eyes as Sora himself couldn't help but feel angered by Relius half baked comment
"In that case… How about I jog that stupid memory of yours so that you do remember Alice… THE BIG SISTER YOU TOOK AWAY FROM ME!" Sora yelled as he tossed his broken knife right at Relius, making Relius summon Ignis as she smacked it high into the air. As she did however, Relius realized that Sora was no longer in front of him but in the air where the knife was supposed to be, prompting Ignis to raise her claws to block the attack as the ground cracked slightly, Sora shooting an angry glare right at Relius's way.
As The Error...was finally reunited with The One
